The assembly's human resource office generates MCAs' and staff payroll which is signed by the clerk, uploaded to the IFMIS and forwarded to the executive for payment. The payroll is closed by the 20th of every month to give the assembly time to request for the money. Woodley MCA Abraham Njihia said the non-payment of the two months'salaries is due to the wrangling between Elachi and assembly clerk Jacob Ngwele. “For two months now we don’t have our salaries and the staff too in the assembly are stranded. Last November, the MCAs voted not to recognise Ngwele as the clerk of the assembly.
